The Library has a VHS to Digital Transfer Station. Simply bring in your VHS tape and USB flash drive or a blank DVD, and go home with your family movies conveniently saved.

We also have a VHS to DVD recorder that SCPL cardholders can check out for one week to convert your VHS tapes to a DVD at home.  Click here to check availability and to place a hold.
